After the temple door opened, the professional archaeological team members present took action one after another. Some took out pigeons, rabbits, etc., and put them into the door; there were also extraordinary people who were specialized in perception and had their perception fully opened, and wrote on a piece of mapping paper.
Writing and painting; there are also many people moving various instruments and equipment to the door.
After a while, the extraordinary person who specialized in perception drew a simple internal structure diagram on the survey map and handed it to Oriana.
Rohr also came closer with a curious look on his face, sticking next to Oriana and watching together.
Keli also followed her father's example, sticking her little head out from between the two of them and looking at the surveying map curiously.
This picture looks quite warm, a bit like a family of three gathering together to look at an advertising poster.
Of course, if Rohr didn't wear a mask and Oriana didn't wear armor, the picture would look more beautiful.
It can be seen from this simple structural diagram that there are twelve floors inside the temple, six above ground and six underground. The door is located on the sixth floor in the middle.
This design is a bit 6.
Then each floor is in the shape of a standard octagon, with a very wide internal area.
But there is one thing that can easily make patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder sick. Each floor inside is supported by six columns, but the layout of the columns is very irregular. The positions of the columns on each floor are different, which looks a bit weird.
In addition, there are many arrangements that are invisible to the senses. You need to go inside and confirm with your eyes.
No signs of biological activity have been found for the time being, and the little rabbits and pigeons that were put in earlier also came out alive, and they don't look too strange, indicating that the air inside is sufficient and non-toxic.
It should be safer, right?
But Oriana frowned.
The more abundant the air is inside, the more obvious the oxidation effect will be, and many things inside may become impossible to see...
"Then, let's go in and have a look?"
She said a little disappointed.
Luo Er originally wanted to go in and take a look, but after thinking about it carefully, he decided to forget it. A layman like himself, an archaeological layman, would not be able to help if he ran in, and would easily cause damage.
He had no choice but to stand by the door and remind:
"Be careful."
"Baby, put on that armor first."
"If there is any danger, remember to shout loudly."
Then, he waited at the door for a while and saw the archaeological team moving the lighting equipment in. The faint cold light emitted by the magic lighting rod gradually illuminated the entire hall, and also illuminated a huge statue in the middle.
Because it is so huge, the face of the statue is clearly visible even from a distance from the door where Rohr is standing. It is a handsome, young-looking male elf wearing a crown and having long pointed ears.
.
He was wearing a robe decorated with various patterns and decorations, with the hem falling to the ground, looking gorgeous and solemn.
Although it has been thousands of years, this statue has not been affected by time at all. There is no sign of weathering. It still looks lifelike and structurally intact, as if it was carved not long ago.
But what really matters is that behind the male elf, there is another statue of a human figure of the same height, which is at a clever angle with the statue in front. It looks like a spirit behind it, but also a bit like a movie or TV show.
It's like a promotional photo, standing side to side.
Compared with the clear-faced statue in the front, the appearance of the latter one is much blurred. Although it also wears a crown on its head, its face is deliberately not carved.
"Is this the origin of the Twin Emperors?"
Oriana asked in a low voice after staring at the statue for a long time.
"But? Why is it in this position? Is there any special meaning in it?"
These mysteries can only be answered by waiting for the continued progress of archaeological work.
Luo Er stood outside the door for a while, and after making sure there was no danger, he turned back and went about his own business.
Due to time constraints and fear of being harassed by enemy spies, the entire archaeological project was carried out around the clock. Oriana divided her workers into three groups and took turns cleaning the site and excavating cultural relics.
She and Keli worked together until dark before they came out to rest, and then went back to Luo Er's tent for dinner.
"This ruins is really amazing. Both the murals and the various decorations on the bottles and jars inside are very well preserved. Apart from being covered in dust, there is no weathering or fading..."
"It just feels like there is some invisible force protecting this place."
Oriana introduced the situation inside to Roel, and Kelly also took out several murals she copied from the side.
"Dad, look, I copied this from the wall. It records the story of the twin emperors."
Luo Er rubbed her little head, took the drawing paper, and looked at it carefully.
Due to limited time, there wasn't much that Keli could copy down. It seemed like an elf boy was born in the forest, and the whole forest was celebrating it.
The young man chases birds freely and fights bravely with wolves. In only two or three scenes, he becomes an outstanding young man and takes over a scepter from a stooped old man.
Maybe this is the youth of the Twin Emperors?
But there is only one character on the mural, and there is no mention of the figure behind him.
And what does the character of this kind of mountain boy have to do with the emperor?
This question will definitely not be answered now, so Luo Er was not in a hurry, returned the painting to his daughter, and encouraged:
"The painting is great! I didn't expect that my daughter actually has a talent for painting. She is indeed my daughter! She has inherited a lot of literary and artistic temperament from me."
Although my daughter has not had any art training before, she seems to be very talented in sketching, and the murals she copied are quite impressive.
Luo Er couldn't help but picture his daughter's petite and cute body lying on the ground, her little feet up and down, her little hand holding a pencil, and drawing seriously on the paper.
Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, it is definitely very cute.
"Yes, yes, Keli is really an outstanding child!"
Oriana on the side also followed suit.
It looks like a father and daughter are praising their daughter for her outstanding performance.
However, for high-ranking extraordinary beings who have sentience and strong control over themselves, copying down murals is actually as simple as a Platinum Star copier.
Seeing Rohr praising Keli, Oriana blinked her eyes, hoping that he would praise her, so she took out a brand new notebook, opened it, and said:
"I also copied some of the various texts on the wall, but there is no translation yet. The translator seems to be busy with other things."
Luo Er turned his head and glanced at a large area of unintelligible characters in her notebook, and smiled:
"What a coincidence, we happened to have an interpreter with us on this trip."
With that said, he asked Oriana to borrow his notebook, got out of the tent, and found Eveya who lived in the tent next door.
After a while, he returned to his daughter with the translated content.
"The text above first says that in the eternal sea of trees, which has been evergreen for thousands of years and is loved and protected by the world, a young man destined to be great was born. But when he was born, the entire forest was whispering his name...
"
"Uh... because the Elvish language is different from our language, this guy's name can be pronounced as 'La' or 'A'..."
"This young man grew up carefree and embarked on his legendary and epic road..."
"At this time, he has not yet realized his greatness and responsibility..."
Rohr briefly read the translation and then continued:
"It looks similar to the content on the mural, but what I find strange is that this young man named 'La' should be the later Twin Emperors, but he was not born into a royal family?"
Oriana thought for a while and replied:
"In fact, some historians have always believed that the system of the Elf Dynasty at that time, the throne was probably not a hereditary system, but a more advanced abdication system or electoral system..."
"The basis is that the lifespan of elves is too long. If it were a human hereditary system, the crown prince would have to go crazy, right?"
"This statement was just a guess before, but now it seems that this is probably the correct answer."
After hearing this, Luo Er couldn't help but smile.
A prince who has been a prince for seventy years can drive people crazy. If you let the elves here, you might start after seven hundred years?
"I have to say, archeology is really interesting."
He sighed in a low voice.
Although it is interesting, it is also very hard, the progress is still slow, and it is more tiring than chasing.
Orianna and Kelly didn't stay here for long. They had to go back and record what they had earned today, and then seize the time to rest. They had to go to work early tomorrow morning.
On this trip, no one was here for an outing.
Except for a certain archaeological team member who did not want to reveal his name and appearance.
At this moment, he was avoiding everyone's attention and wandering alone in the hall on the higher floor. No one else had come here yet. There was no lighting around, and it was dark and looked eerie.
But this man seemed to be strolling around in his own back garden, and the darkness did not seem to hinder his vision at all.
“Don’t you feel nothing when you revisit your old place after a thousand years?”
The mysterious archaeological team member, the villager Ada, smiled and asked into the air beside him.
The air there sent out some slight fluctuations in the darkness, and a vague human figure was vaguely outlined, which was Ah Er who was in an invisible state.
This was undoubtedly a very high-end stealth technique. It deceived Oriana and Rohr, and no one could notice that there was an extra person on the scene.
Relying on this and the help of the golden pocket watch, they returned to their temple under Rohr's eyes.
Ah Er still didn't speak, and completed the communication with Ah Da with completely invisible eyes.
The smile on Ada's face immediately showed a little bitterness, and he sighed in a low voice:
"Yes, you are right. This is something we have abandoned. We really shouldn't feel anything about it."
As he spoke, he walked under a pillar, gently touched the pattern that was still intact on the surface, and then asked:
"Just hide it here?"
While he was talking, a groove magically appeared on the surface of the pillar.
Ah Da then took out the green light-emitting seeds of the sweetheart fruit given to him by his neighbor from his arms.
After carefully placing the seeds into the groove, the surface of the column immediately returned to its original shape and looked normal.
"Isn't it too obvious? What if they can't find it?"
Ah Da muttered to himself worriedly, then reached out and took out the seeds from the column, readjusted the position of the groove to make it shallower, and put the seeds in again.
After restoring the pillar to its original shape, he also reached out and touched the surface of the pillar, causing some damage to the pattern on it, making it significantly different from the surroundings.
If it wasn't inappropriate, he even wanted to draw a big red cross here.
Then, he went to the next level and used the same method to hide another borrowed offering under the floor.
After doing the same thing twice, he felt that something was wrong with this approach, and it was wrong in all aspects.
He contacted the villagers remotely and asked for their opinions:
"Does anyone have experience in treasure hunting in ruins? How should I arrange these collections so that they appear natural, appropriate and not artificial?"
Sweetheart Neighbor was the first to reply:
"Ah? Have you never done any treasure hunting or other activities before?"
Ada smiled and said:
"Not really. This is a big regret in my life."
The neighbor who grew potatoes then said:
"If you tell me this, then I'll be excited. Let me, the most legendary adventurer in human history, provide you with some professional advice!"
"First of all, what is the essence of exploration? Yes, the final harvest is not important. The most essential experience is actually the surprise and excitement of discovering the treasure in the crisis and tension. This is a kind of ability A wonderful feeling that makes people fascinated..."
"So if you want to give the village chief a real adventure, you must not let go of this important essence and soul."
"The results and gains of adventure are actually not important. What every explorer enjoys is actually the process."
After hearing this, Ada nodded and replied:
"Yes, I can feel the feeling you described, but the problem is..."
"Who can create crisis and tension for the village chief?"
The other party immediately became quiet.
Other villagers did not dare to interrupt.
This question is really difficult...
After a while, the neighbor Tudou coughed twice and said in a slightly embarrassed tone:
"Ahem, forget it, let's make some technical adjustments, let's simplify the process a little..."
"In short, you need to prepare some additional treasures to make the rewards of this adventure richer, instead of just a few isolated sacrifices. Do you still have these things in your temple?"
Ada looked at this slightly empty hall and suddenly felt a little shabby.
There really isn’t much here…
Although there were still many good things inside when it was first built, the temple was not a tomb. After the ceremony was completed and abandoned, many things were naturally taken away.
----------
There was something wrong with my mentality yesterday, so I didn't update. I'm very sorry.
I've probably adjusted it a bit now, and it should be fine.
Let's take a look at it during the day tomorrow and find a chance to make up a chapter.
I'm waiting for the list to be drawn tomorrow, and it will be longer.
